Last but certainly not least, the Los Angeles Dodgers are a staple of MLB with strong historical success. Established all the way back when they were formed in Brooklyn, New York as well, the Dodgers have a deep history that has won over fans everywhere.
A Storied Past
The franchise goes back to 1884, when it was known as the Brooklyn Dodgers. After over 60 years in Brooklyn, producing legendary figures like Jackie Robinson (who did a bit more than manage) and breaking the color sitar barrier with his debut in 1947), as well — among many others.The Dodgers are responsible for shattering baseball’s ethnic restrictions of yore.
In 1958, the team moved to Los Angeles and achieved even greater success in that city with a World Series loss followed by three championships between 1963 and ’65. Only one thing had been consistent: Iconic players, beautiful ballparks and fans who burned brighter than anywhere else on the planet.
Recent Success
The Dodgers have had a recent history of being an elite, World Series threatening team as well. They have heavily emphasized their new school, player development themes and approach to growing organically over “old” school recruiting methods in concert with data driven analysis to reach the playoffs year on a perennial basis. Indeed, 2020 was a mile marker for franchise history when they won the World Series.
